London South Bank University

MSc STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Visible realizations

Structures are perhaps the most striking and visible realizations of mechanical principles in our environment. Encompassing everything from residential dwellings and refurbishments to sweeping bridges and iconic skyscrapers, structural engineers combine technical expertise with creativity and craft to provide a safe and sustainable built environment for our society.

This course covers advanced structural analysis and design, and structural computing simulation and also offers units linked with steel, concrete, timber, and other construction materials. It will also provide you with the knowledge to design structures under dynamic conditions.
